Bakelite
Rare 1930s-40s Carved Bakelite Bangle Bracelet
After collecting Bakelite for over 30 years and co-authoring 2 books on the subject I have never seen another like this one. Marbled in what's popularly called blue moon it has 8 carved out dots that run around the side. In addition to that, it's translucent. When held to a light bulb, as it is in the photos, there's a fantastic luminescent glow. It's opaque when wearing except for the times it might catch the sun just right. Parting with it after being in my collection for decades. It measures 5/8 x with 3/8 thick walls and has a standard 2 1/2 interior diameter. There is no damage. No chips, cracks or crazing. From a smoke/pet free home.
